Nordic Games somewhat proudly announces that Painkiller Hell & Damnation will not receive an age-rating in Germany, meaning the shooter remake will not be allowed to be openly sold in that country. Here's word on these new screenshots and the ban:

The newest installment of the legendary “Painkiller” series, “Painkiller Hell & Damnation”, will not receive an age rating in Germany, as been confirmed by Nordic Game Inc.'s parent company, Nordic Games in Vienna, Austria. In an effort to remind everyone that it is, in fact, just a game and not a monster hell-bent on ruining the minds of the masses, Nordic Games and The Farm 51 have released brand new screenshots and cover art for both the Standard Edition and Collector’s Edition. You can download those here.

In “Painkiller Hell & Damnation”, use an array of righteous weaponry to blast the crap out of hordes of demons and other creatures who want nothing more than to send you straight to the grave – again. It’s a fast-paced, thrilling, modern remake of an all-action shooter Classic!

“Painkiller Hell & Damnation” is scheduled for release on Halloween (October 31) for $19.99 in the Standard Edition or $29.99 in a packed Collector's Edition. Head to http://painkillergame.com to find out more and to pre-order the game.
